As Jawn BC awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed into a giant dung beetle.

Or not.

It's been a week now since I had to depart Sydney and the lovely [livejournal.com profile] querrelle. From agonizing pain, to numbness, to weepy, to wistful, to grateful (for the web and video conferencing), it's been a learning experience. But less and less a survival one. We'll get through, it's only 4 months.

Well, not true actually. About 4 days before I left Sydney, I told Max that I couldn't do it. 4 months would kill me; just the last few days were already alternately heartbreaking and heartful. So I made a unilateral decision.

October. I'll come back in October.

You see, I am teaching in a specific program at UBC that includes a break during the last 2 weeks of October. When I prepared my course outlines in mid July, I made sure to maximize that break. Effectively I am off 18 October-02 November.

So I looked around and found a good fare (CA$1572,incl tax), and booked. I will arrive early on Sunday 19 October, via SF. Depending on how much nookie we get in, we may even hit The Shift to sing and whoop it up.

Or mebbe not...but we'll be together!!!!!!! Woo hoo!

how can you take seriously a gay bar that has the same logo as the CBC? *wonders if they play 30% canadian content too*

Being apart is hard and four months seems like a lifetime toward the end of it. I don't say it to put a damper on your time there - just to give you the heads up. The trick (for us, at least) is to be honest about when you miss each other. Specifics are great - it makes it less mechanical. Sometimes I miss sleeping with him, sometimes it's his laugh...telling him that helps keep him a part of my day. "You would have loved....I wish you were there when..."

There comes a point when you think telling him you miss him just puts salt in the wound. It doesn't - don't fall for that bad logic.

Just my two cents and a lot of empathy. It will be only 4 months and, in the end, you guys will be better for the experience.

I'm so happy for you that you get to go back in October. I think it's great that the two of you found each other. I can't wait for the same thing to happen to me. (ho, hum, sigh) October is just around the corner bud

Hope you can hit the shift, nookie permitting :)
Give me a chance to say Hi
